Azerbaijan, July 2005
 Looking out the window on the way to Nabran. |
 On the way to Nabran, the beach just south of Russia. |
 From the back seat... |
 Rustam and me at Nabran. The beach wasn't sandy here-- it was big, round rocks, painful to the bare feet. |
 Looking south. |
 Looking towards Russia, which is about 10 kilometers away. |
 Natavan, Rustam and Mahmoud at the beach. |
 Natavan's father lingers up on the road, waiting for us. No pressure. |
 These two spoke rudimentary English. The skirted one had four teeth, total, and incredible halitosis. Said she was a naturopath |

 Cruising, back-seat style. Me, Natavan and Rustam. |
 Cows at the beach! I couldn't get a good shot out the window. They were eating weeds and garbage. |
